CELESTINES, a branch of the great Benedictine monastic order. At the foundation of the new rule, they were called Hermits of St Damiano, or Moronites (or Murronites), and did not assume the appellation of Celestines till after the election of their founder to the Papacy as Celestine V The fame of the holy life and the austerities practised by that saintly hermit (as noticed above) in his solitude on the Mountain of Majella, near Sulmona,
attracted many visitors, several of whom were moved to
remain and share his mode of life. They built, therefore)
a small convent on the spot inhabited by the holy hermit,
which very shortly became too small for the accommodation
of those who thronged thither to share their life of privations. Peter of Morone, their founder, therefore built a
number of other small oratories in that neighbourhood.
